CRAZY ROMANOFFS.
How Insanity Has Run Through the I'm
perial Russian Family,

How Insanity Has Run Through the I'm
perial Russian Family.
In the recently published memoirs Of
Count Vitzthum, of Eckstadt, proofs are
given of the hereditary character Of
the mental disease which afflicted the
imperial family of Russia. All the sons
of Car Paul l., like that unhappy mon
arch himself, who was murdered in
1901, became subject TO fits of insanity.
Paul l. had four sons-Czar Alexander
l., the Grand Duke Consta ntine, Gar
Nicolas l. and the Grand Duke Michael.
Every one of them, after his forty-ifth
year, exhibited undoubted signs of men
tai arrangement. This was not fully
discovered in the case of Nicolas l. un-
til after the Cars death. An English
physician, however, the Count says,
noticed the appearance of the heredi-
tary disease in the Car as early as
July. 1858. and he then predicted that
the monarch had not more than two
years of life before him. This he stated
in letter to Lord Palmerston. The
Emperor Nicolas died in March, 1855,
about four months earlier than the date
predicted. The Count appears TO have
no doubt that the Crimean war, so far
as it depended on Nicolas, was the rash
act of ruler whose mental equipOise
was disturbed" None of the four sons
of Paul l. lived to be sixty years of age,
and every one of them suffered from
conclusion of the brain after reaching
his forty-fifth year.
Alexander died at forty-eight. a mis-
cradle man, moody and respondent, as
Prince Metternich has painted him,
.'tired of existence. His brother, the
Grand Duke Constantine, though not
manifestly insane, gave frequent signs
of mental disturbance, of which he
was himself so plainly conscious that
he did not think himself fit to be trusted
with the reins of government. His
conduct in the year 1880, at the out
break of the revolution in Warsaw,
will remain to prove his mental I'M
soundness. He had to be entrusted to
lne care VI HIS Wllc, Tile l. IluCoSS LO-
wicz, who was cautioned in the same
way as is physician in charge of Il
patient having intermittent fits of in
sanity. He died in his fifty-second
year from congestion OF the brsin.
The Grand Duke Michael was killed by
a fall from his horse at the age of forty
eight. Some years before his death he
had exhibited signs of undoubted men
tai disease, and his physicians declared
that he was on the road to certain in
sanity. The events of 1882 were
not calculated to allay the hereditary
dispositions of the imperial family of
Russia, but to excite and intensity
them. There is something terrible in
the contrast between the outward posi-
ton of the Gar Nicolas, upon the ben.
of whose will the fate of SO many mil
lions in Europe was depending, and
the alleged diseased inward condition
of his mind. .-Loadon Society.

The mother manifested her pleasure

frolicked with the little one for several
minutes, and then looked at US with
her great hazel eyes, thanking US for
